A few words about the kit itself. Since I am not one of those who complain, I will focus on the positives. Although not the best, linden wood offers great possibilities. This type of wood behaves a bit like a sponge, it can be crushed, flattened, bent and formed almost like plasticine. Warning! You have to be careful about its delicacy, because an inadvertent scratch with a fingernail can carve an unnecessary scratch in the material. Modeling plans made with care, although I often have the impression that there are no lines that would make the task easier. Fortunately, there are many photos of models already made by other modelers and photos of a real ship, which greatly helps to check the correctness of your own interpretation of reading the executive plan, thus helping to protect yourself from making a mistake.

And more elements are arriving on the ship, the shipyard is working at full speed, although in reality it is painstaking tinkering and corrections to elements I was not satisfied with.
I decided to make fasteners, I made the device by making a 0.4mm hole in a flat bar and a 0.3mm drill. I knocked them out of an aluminum can, making small circles.

First painting after previous cleaning and checking for glue residue. I wanted to make the hull skin elements visible as much as possible and the detail of the plank structure as visible as possible. To achieve this, remember to dilute the paint and use a drying retarder. Good and careful preparation of the masking for work with an airbrush is half the battle.
